About this map

The Maquoketa River carves a winding path through this corner of Delaware County, defining the local geography and recreational landscape. Most prominent is Backbone State Park, featuring the distinctive ridge known as The Backbone and the waters of Backbone Lake. This area was established as Iowa's first state park, and its enduring presence is reflected in the surrounding developments like the Forest Villa Resort and the nearby settlement of Forestville. The terrain is shaped by several watercourses including Sand Hagen Cr and Rieger Cr, which feed into the primary river system.

The town of Dundee serves as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural grid, connected by a network of county roads such as Co Hwy-W69 and Co Hwy-C57. To the west, the settlement of Campton sits near the Buchanan Delaware Ave boundary line. From the heights of Wolf Hill to the crossing at Lindsey Bridge, the map illustrates a landscape where early conservation efforts and traditional rural settlement patterns remain clearly visible.
